Operations Research Methodologies

A single source guide to operations research (OR) techniques this book covers emerging OR methodologies in a clear concise and unified manner. Building a bridge between theory and practice it begins with coverage of fundamental models and methods such as linear nonlinear integer and dynamic programming networks simulation queuing inventory stochastic processes and decision analysis. The book then explores emerging techniques including multiple criteria optimization meta heuristics robust optimization and complexity and large scale networks. Each chapter gives an overview of a particular methodology illustrates successful applications and provides references to computer software availability. | Operations Research Methodologies
